Realist vs Idealist !

-
When you are an idealist
The whole creation contradicts

When you are a realist
The whole creation compliments.

So, one thing is glaring on our face called perception. In both, the creation seems to remain same. Thankfully, we have not divided different creators for the difference in creation, so one creator solves the dispute.

Idealist - It is not that he doesn't belong to this existence but some where because of all the experiences in his life is either condemning or expecting an ideal world, the imagined world in his mind. He may call it even as oneness according to his imaginations.

What he may probably be missing is the understanding that, this world is complete by itself and hence, no matter however hard he may TRY, he can only have it in his imagination and that can never be a reality.

Once it is evident that it is just a dream, all the building blocks just crumble down and once again, finds himself holed up in the well of emotions. Emotions are the greatest impediments in knowing the truth, if one gets influenced by them.

What happens with a realist ? Does he have a royal ride ? Invariably, it is the other way around. He may have had his own share of all the unpleasant experiences. He probably doesn't succumb to the effects instead uses them to switch on his exploration of the mind.

Lucky enough and blessed, gets guided by the guru. That brings about the turn as meditation and realizes the stupidity that was nurtured by him to see an ideal world when everything is complete by itself. This is when, once the scary and contradictory world would suddenly shine complimenting and complete in all its grandeur.

~ "Adapt Tune" ~

An insight into a dance competition show. Unlike the regular performance where a participant proves his dancing skills to a song selected and well trained for it, here he is expected to dance to the unexpected tunes. The DJ on the set is the creator of the tunes for that moment. The participant on the floor is evaluated as to how well his performance is tuned in to the unexpected rhythms. "Expect the unexpected" and tune in to be your own self. Thats when the best of performance is unfolded. You dont perform but you just tune in to the rhythms. There is a subtle and yet a vital difference that distinguishes you from the rest. The sense organ, ear, lets the listening happen. The mind accepts the tune and the body adapts to the tune and thats what is called the dance. Firstly, one needs to be well equipped with the skills and thats what is called confidence. Without a proper knowledge and practice of the skill, one would only turn out to be a laughing stock on the floor. Once t...

Let us a take a look at the transformation of a simple metal plate into a knife. The metal plate when processed through various stages gets shaped into a sharp instrument used primarily for cutting etc. Have you noticed, the process doesn't get completed in just sharpening the blade. It takes a complete shape only when a wooden handle is provided on one end. The one edge of the sharpened blade gets fixed into the wooden case, thereby, providing strong and comfortable access to the usage of the instrument. Left without a wooden case to hold, the blade still remains a sharpened tool but dangerous even to the user. Try holding a sharpened blade and make use of it. May be, your hands would bleed first even before making use of it. When looking at the mind, intellect and its connectivity to the Self, i felt it is easier to understand and relate it with the example of the knife. Intellect, as a sharpened blade is essential to discriminate, execute. It becomes a dangerous tool only when i...

~ Levels of Awareness ~

Beware of Ignorance Be Aware of Self! That which begins as a practice Becomes a part of the whole Nothing new that never existed is going to be introduced for practicing. Yet, there comes a moment when each of us are introduced to discover our own self through various means. Body exists from the time of birth, yet the real feel of that first moment is experiential. Same with breath too. Breathing has been happening but when we enter into its realm with that touch of awareness then on the Real living begins. Ignorance in a way acts as the backdrop for awareness. In life, when we begin to learn some art or anything, we tend to have a total focus on the job. Like when we first begin to cut vegetables, the eyes, the hands and the mind are in total focus. Its the practice which eventually leads to evolution. Perfection sounds more like a finite one. But with subtleness, it just expands to nowhere. The taste of the self which begins as a practice eventually grows to expand in awareness. Focu...
